As Gibbs shows us, the important thing is actually to find a workable middle ground.
Gibbs found the middle ground. Other good teams find the middle ground.
As we have seen with bad trades, controversies about starting QB's, and many other things, Bruce Allen does not find the middle ground.

That's on Snyder, imo. Doesn't matter what the HC/GM does, if the boss, the owner, isn't willing to work at it. It shouldn't take being a living legend to get Snyder to budge a little.
Snyder's been the meddler, from Turner (QB), to Schottenheimer (had to take control back), Spurrier (may have just been a trainwreck), to even Gibbs (above), Zorn ("All I told him was to take his hands out of his pockets"), to Shanny (claims Snyder meddled).
I thought one of the positive things of Allen, was that he was described as a good buffer between Snyder and the team. Is that not true now?
